1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

objectivesTo comparatively analyze maternal and fetal factors and quality markers of blood samples in a public umbilical cord blood bank.

methodThis is a cross-sectional descriptive study that revisited 458 records of donations from September 2009 to March 2013 at the Hemocentro de Santa Catarina. The means of markers were used to define cutoff points for the quality of cord blood.

resultsMost donations came from women with ages between 18 and 29 years (62.8%), gestational age≥40 weeks (55.2%), vaginal delivery (51.3%), primiparous (41.4%), and with male newborns (54.4%) weighing between 3000 and 3499g (41.8%). The volume of the donations ranged from 71.6 to 275.2mL, the total nucleated cell count ranged from 4.77×10(8) to 31.0×10(8) cells and CD34(+) cells ranged from 0.05 to 1.23%. There were statistically significant differences in the volume with respect to gestation age>38 weeks (p-value=0.001), cesarean section (p-value<0.001) and birth weight>3500g (p-value<0.001). The total nucleated cell count was positively affected by cesarean section (p-value=0.022) and birth weight>3500g (p-value<0.001). There was no statistically significant difference between the variables and the percentage of CD34(+) cells.

conclusionsDelivery route and birth weight influence the volume of cord blood and the total nucleated cell count. Gestational age influences only the volume of cord blood.
